A general election ad via
The Swamp:
… ..For many voters, Obama is still an unknown quantity because of his relative
newness to the national political scene. Despite all his speeches, many voters
are still unsure what to make of him.Add to this the backdrop of the whole Rev. Jeremiah Wright flap, and the
questions “What does Obama think?” and “Where has he been?”
probably raise more anxiety with more voters than would’ve been true a few
weeks ago.We know there’ve been questions, no matter how unfair, about Obama’s patriotism,
questions revived not just by Wright and his by now infamous imprecations
against America but by Michelle Obama’s foot-in-mouth statement about the
success of her husband’s campaign making her proud of her country as an adult
for the first time.Thus the portrayal of McCain as, first and foremost, a candidate whose life
story demonstrates patriotism, goes right at what appears to be an Obama weakness
because of the way many voters perceive both men.Then there is the “Has he walked the walk?” question. McCain, like
Clinton, have been trying to define Obama as little more than a speechifier.
Everyone knows the first half of the proverbial question the ad alludes to.
“He can the talk, but can he walk the walk.” . ….
Let the whining begin. Mother Jones meets reality:
If the Republican campaign is this vulgar and creepy seven months ahead of the election, expect much worse in the fall.
Seriously, where have these guys been?
